1308

adventure in feathers

and overcast, no matter

well into the morning

when this swamp hen

takes to the roof

one is tempted to think

because it is there

what use a roof to almost flightless?

 pond traipser –

the white-arsed swampy Jesus of birds

one wonders if the tribe will follow

but no, a solo show

they haven’t much of a tune

but you could always hear them

issues of territory, love quarrels

now a clatter too

at least this one is

who holds the roof

for decoration

and from there

gets up in the touching tree

half flutter

could say climbing

precarious to perch

its moment swaying

then

nothing like a thunderbolt

it glides

to pond

spectacular

at least to me
